Five Nine Agency

Tony Jameson-Allen

Bradford based Five Nine Agency staged their festive lunch at the Great Victoria Hotel in Bradford.

The agency invited a large number of former players and local sports stars to the event titled 'Tales from the Dressing Room'.

Over 150 fans attended the lunch, which featured some lively Q&A's with the likes of Peter Jackson, Paul Jewell, Jamie Lawrence, John Dreyer, Darren Tetley, Alan Gilliver (who features on our banners) and Arnie Sidebottom.

Co-founder of Five Nine Agency, James Mason, wrote in the dinner programme

"Today's chosen charity is the Sporting Memories Foundation, who I first came in contact with during my time at Bradford City. In their own words they aim to tackle Dementia, Depression and Loneliness through the Power of Sport. I for one, fully understand just how powerful this message is.....I remember my Mum a few years ago coming alive at a Bradford City game when she was overcome with joy, laughter and song all because of sport.

The event included a fundraising raffle and auction. The funds raised will be put towards starting a weekly sporting memories club in Bradford.

Fans across the globe can get involved in a community walk event will be held in Dumbarton on 11th June to celebrate the 80th birthday as well as the 50th anniversary of motor racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart’s first of three Formula One World Championships.

Dementia currently affects approximately 850,000 people in the UK and 600,000 family members who have had to become full time carers. It costs the UK economy in the region of £26bn a year, more than cancer and heart disease combined. So should football be expected to foot the bill for former players’ care and support? And if so, who should that responsibility lay with?
